An officer’s report reads: “Some of the issues raised by objectors relate to matters which have previously been considered as part of the outline planning application. Other matters have been discussed with the applicant and have resulted in amendments to the proposal.”

The Hoyles Lane bid is a Taylor Wimpey development and is part of a wider site that received outline permission for up to 450 homes in 2011.

The current application is phase two of the over-arching plan, providing a mixture of two to five bedroom properties.

A small retail centre included in the outline plan has been dropped as different locations have been earmarked as part of the North West Preston Masterplan, according to committee documents.

Four letters of objection were submitted by residents, raising concerns about flooding and a lack of public consultation.
